Notified by MoUD (S.O 2687) dated 05/09/2013, the new land pooling policy is explained as a piece of land owned by individuals or group of owners that they in a legal bound manner transfer to the land pooling agency. The agency thus retaining, proportionately, a certain part of the land returns back the remaining one for construction purposes.
